Come for the food, stay for the art: Cafe Sebastienne

I'll confess right now that I don't often take pictures of my food. Most of the time I remember after I'm halfway through the meal, that being said...

This past weekend Sunday Brunch was taken at Cafe Sebastienne inside the Kemper Musuem. An acclaimed restaurant inside a modern art museum for when you need both mouth and eye porn simultaneously. 

Their brunch menu is a true spectrum of dishes: a black walnut pesto omelet with goat cheese to Moroccan lamb meatloaf. Eggs Benedict on crab cakes, Kobe beef hash or fish tacos. Yes, please- one of each.



Unfortunately there is no all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet here, so we had to make decisions. We went with the omelet stuffed with pesto and goats cheese and the Kobe beef hash (with poached eggs and hollandaise atop!). And we also split a bowl of lentil soup. I can assure you that a) both everything was amazing and b) I mustered up enough table manners to not inhale the whole plate in 7 seconds.

If you like bloody mary's then you should come for that alone. Just trust. And my Italian coffee had more than a litter pistachio liquor. You can't go wrong. In fact it might make the modern art a bit more accessible to be a little tipsy...

Where do you go for a fancy-pants brunch?
